Project description:Adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors are widely used for gene therapy, providing treatment for diseases caused by absent or defective genes. Despite the success of gene therapy, AAV-manufacturing is still challenging, with production yields being limited. With increased patient demand, improvements in host cell productivity through various engineering strategies will be necessary. Here, we study the host cell proteome of AAV5 producing HEK293 cells using reversed phase nano liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Rela-tive label-free quantitation (LFQ) was performed allowing a comparison of transfected vs. un-transfected cells. Gene ontology enrichment and pathway analysis revealed differential expres-sion of proteins involved in fundamental cellular processes such as metabolism, proliferation and cell death. Furthermore, changes in expression of proteins involved in endocytosis and lysosomal degradation were observed. Our data provides highly valuable insights into cellular mechanisms involved during recombinant AAV production by HEK293 cells thus potentially enabling further improvements of gene therapy product manufacturing.

Project description:The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is assembled into signaling complexes of mTORC1 or mTORC2, and plays key roles in cell metabolism, stress response, nutrient and growth factor sensing. Accumulating evidence from human and animal model studies has demonstrated a pathogenic role of hyperactive mTORC1 in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is a primary injury site in AMD. In mouse models of RPE-specific deletion of Tuberous sclerosis 1 (Tsc1), which encodes an upstream suppressor of mTORC1, the hyperactivated mTORC1 metabolically reprogrammed the RPE and led to the degeneration of the outer retina and choroid (CH). In the current study, we used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to identify a novel RPE mTORC1 downstream protein, dopamine and cyclic AMP-regulated phosphoprotein of molecular weight 32,000 (DARPP-32). DARPP-32 was not found in healthy RPE but localized to drusen and basal linear deposits in human AMD eyes. In animal models, overexpressing DARPP-32 by adeno-associated virus (AAV) led to abnormal RPE structure and function. The data indicate that DARPP-32 is a previously unidentified signaling protein subjected to mTORC1 regulation and may contribute to RPE degeneration in AMD.

Project description:Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a uniformly lethal neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive deterioration of motor neurons, neuromuscular denervation, leading to severe paralysis and breathe failure. Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated delivery of trophic factors is being considered as a potential disease-modifying therapeutic avenue. Here we show a marked effect of AAV-mediated over-expression of Neuron-derived neurotrophic factor (NDNF) on SOD1G93A ALS model mice. We performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of SOD1G93A mice injected with AAV-GFP or AAV-NDNF at postnatal days 74.

Project description:To characterize underlying changes in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)/choroid with age, we produced gene expression profiles for the RPE/choroid and compared the transcriptional profiles of the RPE/choroid from young and old mice. The changes in the aged RPE/choroid suggest that the tissue has become immunologically active. Such phenotypic changes in the normal aged RPE/choroid may provide a background for the development of age-related macular degeneration. Experiment Overall Design: We compared the gene expression of retinal pigmental epithelium/choroid from young and old animals. There were 4 samples from young mice and 4 samples from old mice. Each sample contained 4 retinal pigmental epithelium/choroid from 2 animals

Project description:The study of microglia biology and the development of microglia-based gene therapies are in urgent need of efficient and safe vehicles for microglia transgene delivery. To address this, we developed adeno-associated virus (AAV) variants that mediate efficient in vitro and in vivo microglia transduction via directed evolution of the AAV capsid protein. To assess the effect of AAV transduction on microglia, we carried out bulk RNAseq in primary microglia and found that microglia transduced by AAV remain close to homeostatic state. Furthermore, single-cell RNA sequencing showed that the AAV-MG variants mediate safe in vivo transgene delivery without inducing microglia immune activation. These AAV variants should facilitate the applications of various genetically-encoded sensors and effectors in studying microglia-related biology and therapeutic interventions.

Project description:Adeno-associated virus (AAV) has emerged as a leading platform for gene therapy. With a skyrocketing rate of AAV research and the prevalence of many new engineered capsids being investigated in preclinical and clinical trials, capsid characterization plays an important role in serotype confirmation and quality control. Further, peptide mapping the capsid proteins might inevitably be a future requirement by regulatory agencies since it is a critical step in good manufacturing practice (GMP) for biotherapeutic characterization. To overcome many challenges that traditional methods like SDS-PAGE and Western blots carry, liquid chromatography & mass spectrometry (LC-MS) allows high resolution & sensitivity with great confidence in characterizing the AAV capsid proteins to the exact masses. Our optimized LC-MS method provides quick sample preparation, fast and high-throughput 4-min run, high sensitivity (only need ~2E10 vg per run for UV detection) allowing very efficient characterization of wild-type and engineered capsids. Additionally, , as well as LC-MS/MS peptide mapping of the AAV capsid proteins, including. lLysine-targeted chemical modification of the AAV capsids, for the first time, was characterized and peptide mapped in this study, therefore elucidating the most accessible Lysine residues of the AAV tested. Our detailed protocols method areis anticipated to promote the development and discovery of AAV variants with high accuracy and efficiency.

Project description:Despite rapid progress in the development of new therapies based on adeno-associated viral vectors (AAVs) in recent years, successful transduction of the human heart remains challenging. So far, the mechanisms that impede AAV transduction, especially in humans are poorly understood, hampering the introduction of new, effective gene therapy strategies. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify and overcome the main cellular barriers to successful transduction in the heart, using iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs), cardiac fibroblasts (iPSC-CFs), and primary endothelial cells (HAECs) to model vector-host interactions. Through phosphoproteome analysis of AAV9-transduced iPSC-CFs we established that casein kinase 2 (CK2) signalling is one of the most significantly affected pathways upon AAV exposure. Importantly, transient inhibition of CK2 activity with silmitasertib substantially enhanced the transduction rate of AAV2, AAV6 and AAV9 in all tested cell types (iPSC-CMs, iPSC-CFs and HAECs), demonstrating the versatility of this approach. CK2 inhibition improved the trafficking of AAVs through the cytoplasm and impaired DNA-damage response through destabilisation of Mre11, sensor of dsDNA breaks, that directly binds the ITRs of the vector genome. Silmitasertib treatment also allowed for improvement of transgene expression in already transduced iPSC-CFs, which retain AAV genomes in a functional, but probably silent form. Furthermore, our analysis revealed that AAV transduction may interfere with RNA processing pathways, identifying matrin-3 as a necessary factor for efficient transgene delivery. In summary, presented study provides new insights into the current understanding of the host-AAV vector interaction, identifying CK2 activity as a key barrier to efficient transduction and transgene expression, therefore offering a promising strategy to improve the outcome of AAV-based therapies in the future.

Project description:Purpose: PDGF-D is a potent angiogenic and immune-related factor. It has been demonstrated that PDGF-D play roles in the pathological process of ocular angiogenesis and degenerative diseases. In our previous study, we established a retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cell-specifc AAV-PDGF-D/GFP mouse model to study PDGF-D's role in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). In this study, we utilized the single-cell transcriptiome seqeuncing technique to explore the cell types of immune cells attracted by PDGF-D overepxression using the same animal models, with emphases on the impact of PDGF-D overexpression on individual cell's behaviour.
